“I thank our vice chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, for the last several weeks, I listened to countless concerns from literally hundreds of Tennesseans whom I have the honor to represent here in Congress. I heard from families still struggling to make ends meet because of rampant inflation. They are paying more for housing, groceries, energy, and just about everything else you can think of because of Bidenomics. I listened to constituents who are worried about crime, fentanyl, and, yes, the overrun U.S.-Mexico border. Small business owners expressed the heavy burden of government regulations. Parents told me the many ways government overreach in schools keeps them up at night. It is not hyperbole to say that the results of this election were an answered prayer for those Tennesseans and millions more across this country. Throughout the 118th Congress, House Republicans fulfilled our Commitment to America. We passed bills to secure our borders, lower energy costs, curb Federal regulations, and restore fiscal sanity to our government, but unlike what we have seen for the last 2 years, the bills we pass in the 119th Congress will no longer be dead on arrival in the do-nothing Senate. The next Congress will also have a Commander in Chief who values family, common sense, and strength on the world stage. We will have a partner in the White House who is willing to roll back red tape rather than layer on more.…”
